Effective with shipments on March 1, 2010, a Copper Metal surcharge will be added to all invoices, which will be 2% of the previous month’s COMEX average less one dollar. The Charge will be calculated as follows:

COMEX average for the month of February 2010 was $3.1021 - $1.00 (Base) = 2.1021 x 2% = $.0420/lb March 2010 surcharge.
